Hand Injury Stops Caleb Wilson
Chicago Bulls rookie Caleb Wilson suffered a right hand injury on Wednesday night during a 124-119 loss against the San Antonio Spurs. The first round pick left the game in the third quarter and was unable to return.
The injury occurred when Wilson attempted to knock the ball out of Victor Wembanyama's hands. His right hand hit the ball during the play, forcing him off the floor for the rest of the night.
Quick Scoring Before the Exit
Before he went off injured, Wilson was putting on another strong display for the Bulls. He managed to score 15 points in only 15 minutes of playing time on the court.
The rookie had actually entered Wednesday's game listed as questionable because of right hip soreness. Despite dealing with that hip issue, he continued his positive form until the hand problem forced him out.
Strong Rookie Season Campaign
Wilson has made a fantastic start to his professional basketball career and is currently a candidate for the Rookie of the Year award. He came into the contest against San Antonio with solid averages across the board.
Prior to Wednesday, the UNC product was averaging 19.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game. He was also spending significant time on the court, averaging 32.4 minutes per game for Chicago.
Repeating College Injury Troubles
Hand health has been a recurring issue for Wilson since his college days at UNC. His collegiate career ended early after he sustained injuries to both of his hands.
During that time, a right thumb fracture required surgery, which prevented him from playing in the NCAA men's tournament. The Bulls still showed great faith in him, selecting Wilson with the No. 4 pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
